**Calling all citizens, pirates, trouble makers - come to our weekly plotting call to help co-create, activate and amplify Citizen Friday 2025**  
  
This is the **third year of Citizen Friday,** a grassroots, citizen-created campaign that primarily takes place in community spaces, workshops, and the outdoors. But this year, we’re thinking bigger.

We have a dream. That Citizen Friday won’t just replace Black Friday in our lives, but that it might one day replace the *consumer story itself*. 

And to do that, we need **YOU**.

This year, we’re making the campaign **collective**. **Crowd-sourced and citizen-led.** Which means shaping it together: asking questions, trying ideas, testing messages, and building it in public, as a community.

We are going to start with a call on Wednesday 22nd October 1pm-2pm GMT [ ](https://luma.com/0gswxjx5?ref=actionism.space)

What might we need?

- Posters for the streets - let’s go guerrilla
- Stitch & Hike kits and event guides
- Polls and collective tools to shape the message
- ACTionism film screenings (on Nov 28?)
- Banners, patches, and there will be sewing throughout
- Maybe even a party...

We’ll also need time, skills, energy - and yes, funding - to bring this vision to life.

What can you bring?

There are so many ways to get involved, at all levels. You might:

- Share a story
- Host a community event
- Join the debate
- Run a repair session or a local walk
- Help design or paste up posters
- Offer skills in graphics, tech, outreach, or logistics
- Or simply spread the message in your community, workplace or organisation

This isn’t just a protest against consumerism.  
It’s a practice of something better.

## The Plan (So Far)

Over the next 6 weeks, we’ll shape the campaign together:

- **Week 1:** Campaign co-creation: What’s the message? What do we need? Posters, stickers, ideas? Expect community polls, open calls, and shared design.
- **Week 2:** We dig into **Repair:** as a practical skill and political act.
- **Week 3:** We explore **Sharing,** from tool libraries to stories.
- **Week 4:** We dig into the power of stepping outdoors
- **Week 5-6:** We build momentum, create resources, and bring the campaign to life.

And then, on **November 28th**, we gather in our **community spaces**, our **fields and forests**, in the **fresh air and shared warmth**, to mark **Citizen Friday** \- together.
